PRESENTATION OUTLINE
CF is short for cystic fibrosis. You can't catch CF. You are born with it.
In CF you have to take lots of treatments and pills. I have to take pills before I eat, and treatments in the morning and night.
I put on an aflo vest everyday in the mornings and nights. I also do breathing treatments albuterol in the morning, and albuterol and pulmazyme at night.
THE PILLS I TAKE INCLUDE...
- Creon
- Ursodiol
- Adek
- Zertex
- Probiotic
- Vitamin D
- Miralax ( drink )
- Nasacort ( nose medicine )
- Plus my treatments
You may be asking"what does CF do to affect you, what happens if you don't take your medicine?"well I have the awnser.( read the next slide to find out ).
CF affects your lungs.if you don't do the right things to treat your lunges you could end up in the hospital.
When you have CF and your lunges get infected it's called pseudomonus ( sue-da-mon-as ).When you get it you most likely go to the hospital and get a pick line Inplanted.and you will have to stay there for a while.
When you have CF you have to be carful of germs and sick people, so that way you have less of a chance of getting sick too.
